On Training

Hey guys, how the winter holidays so far? This is the best time of the year for spending time with your family, please enjoy it. Now lets talk about how to train to get the most out of it. First, break it down to pre-season, during season and off season. Make a plan for how you can build your game to PEAK when the season begins, then during the season focus on MATCH PLAY and getting and staying mentally tough, the off season should be a time to work on developing new strokes, never work on a new stroke before, you should only do this during the off-season. The key to becoming efficient in your training is to keep REVISING it as you go along, stay current and if you have a trainer, make sure they are up to date on whats going on with the latest training methods. Also, train like you will play, meaning take short break, like you would in a match between points and focus on improving your FIRST STEP!
